GALLERY II

May 25 - June 18, 2011

Opening Reception: Thursday, May 26, 6-8 pm

To take a picture is no big deal, to take one with your telephone is the ordinary squared. The phone has become the most basic component of its composite self now outfitted with cameras, programs, tools and internet. Stephanie Bernheim’s new works tease out the ambiguous space of these technologies and their capacity to create pictures wholly their own. With her Palm Pilot’s camera Bernheim captures traces of travel and the meanderings of a curious eye. The photographs are illusive; often a confrontation with a singular object or moment is displaced by subjective shorthand. Like picking up the phone when someone has mistakenly dialed your number, we hear only fragments. They occupy a mysterious space between the familiar textures of the photographic and the phantom images of memory.
